It represents an opportunity for upgrading security services and for resolving human resources issues that private security companies face. The aim of the article is to present the potentials of modern technological solutions for upgrading security services and overcoming contemporary challenges in the field of private security. Design/Methods/Approach: For the purpose of the study, we conducted interviews with representatives of the Slovenian private security profession to determine the current challenges in the private security industry, their positions on modern technologies and their feasibility in practice. Interviews were conducted at the head offices of respondents’ companies in summer 2019. In total, four interviews were conducted. Findings: The results show that general problems on the labour market have a significant impact on private security services in Slovenia, while the lack of competent personnel leads to unregulated working conditions and the inability to provide quality security services. The implementation of advanced technological solutions could address key operational challenges and optimise financial and human resources. Research Limitations/Implications: One of the limitations of the study is the small number of interviews. We tried to overcome this limitation by carefully selecting the interviewees and by conducting a thorough, in-depth interview. Originality/Value: The study addresses current and important issues and connects with the concepts of digitalisation of companies. This is a topic that is important in both public policing and private policing. The paper thus upgrades and complements existing knowledge in this fieldNamen prispevka: Uporaba naprednih tehnoloških rešitev v varovanju je eden od aktualnih razvojnih trendov v sektorju zasebnega varovanja. Predstavlja priložnost za nadgradnjo varnostnih storitev in reševanje kadrovskih težav, s katerimi se soočajo zasebna varnostna podjetja. Namen prispevka je predstaviti potenciale sodobnih tehnoloških rešitev za nadgradnjo varnostnih storitev in premagovanje sodobnih izzivov na področju zasebnega varovanja. Metode: Za namen študije smo opravili intervjuje s predstavniki slovenske stroke zasebnega varovanja, da bi ugotovili aktualne izzive v sektorju zasebnega varovanja, njihova stališča do sodobnih tehnologij in njihovo izvedljivost v praksi. Intervjuji so bili opravljeni na sedežih podjetij anketirancev poleti 2019. Skupno so bili opravljeni štirje intervjuji. Ugotovitve: Rezultati kažejo, da splošne težave na trgu dela pomembno vplivajo na zasebne varnostne službe v Sloveniji, pomanjkanje kompetentnega kadra pa vodi v neurejene delovne pogoje in nezmožnost zagotavljanja kakovostnih storitev varovanja. Z uvedbo naprednih tehnoloških rešitev bi lahko rešili ključne operativne izzive ter optimizirali finančne in kadrovske vire. Omejitve/uporabnost raziskave: Ena od omejitev študije je majhno število intervjujev. To omejitev smo poskušali preseči s skrbno izbiro intervjuvancev in s temeljitim, poglobljenim intervjujem. Izvirnost/pomembnost prispevka: Študija obravnava aktualna in pomembna vprašanja ter se povezuje s koncepti digitalizacije podjetij. To je tema, ki je pomembna tako v javni kot zasebni policiji. Prispevek tako nadgrajuje in dopolnjuje obstoječa znanja s tega področjaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Mariboru, Fakulteta za varnostne vede
